Nuremberg (dpa / lby) - 1. FC Nuremberg was shown its limits at FC Arsenal's goal show by 50 million man Gabriel Jesus. The Franconian second division soccer team was brutally punished by the top club from London after a strong first half. 21,616 spectators on Friday in Nuremberg experienced a spectacle of the highest quality at 3: 5 (2: 0).
The "Club" started with the newcomers Christoph Daferner, Jan Gyamerah and Kwadwo Duah - and how! Johannes Geis put coach Robert Klauß' aggressive team ahead with a shot under the bar in the 24th minute. Newcomer Duah (29th) then gave a first taste of his skills and increased with a straightforward right-footed shot.
At half-time, the Nuremberg fans could hope for a big surprise against FC Arsenal, who, however, will not be challenged again in the Premier League until the beginning of August.
The "Gunners" brought on the Brazilian international Gabriel Jesus at half-time, who came from Manchester City for more than 50 million euros just a few days ago, and increased the pace of the pass. The always dangerous Gabriel Jesus (47th, 75th) crowned his debut with a brace. Mohamed Elneny (54th) scored with a long-range shot. The new Nuremberg captain Christopher Schindler (57th) and Tim Handwerker (63rd) each increased involuntarily with an own goal.
Just a few seconds after being substituted on, Lukas Schleimer (73') shortened the lead, but had to be replaced injured. The Nurembergers are challenged again in the 2nd Bundesliga for the first time in a week on Saturday at FC St. Pauli.
